Pagination in django - the original query string gets lost

Question

I use the code from the documentation to paginate the data:

try:
    data = paginator.page(request.GET.get(\'page\'))
except PageNotAnInteger:
    page = 1
          


        

Answer 1

Another possible solution can be to construct parameters list in your view. Pros: you can use clean and expressive methods on QueryDict.

It will be look like this:

get_copy = request.GET.copy()
parameters = get_copy.pop('page', True) and get_copy.urlencode()
context['parameters'] = parameters

That's it! Now you can use your context variable in template:

 href="?page={{ paginator.next_page_number }}&{{ parameters }}" 

See, code looks clean and nicely.

note: assumes, that your context contained in context dict and your paginator in paginator variable
